Amy Chanthaphavong: Miss Asian America 2009

Meeting Amy For the First Time

I actually stumbled upon Amy Chanthaphavong while doing a
search for the SEA Games which was held for the first time in Vientiane,
Laos. In the article about the SEA Games was
mention of Miss Asian America 2009 Amy Chathaphavong’s desire to attend. While doing so, I “met” Amy for the first
time and so became very intrigued. Maybe
someday, I will meet her in person (keep dreaming, sucker)—that is unless Rayna H.
Hurman has something to say about it.
Not before was I aware that there was such a thing as the Miss Asian
America Pageant before learning about Amy, or that for the first time in the
Pageant’s 24 year history, a Laotian American was a contestant. With that said, it could be concluded that the
first time a Laotian American entered the Miss Asian America Pageant proved to be
a charm, because Amy Chanthaphavong walked away from the pageant which was held at San Francisco's Palace of Fine Arts Theater as the reigning
Queen of Miss Asian America on August 8, 2009.

By the way, don't miss out all three of the featured videos! Please enjoy.

From Softagon's Official Website:

Amy Chanthaphavong is Softagon’s Operations Manager. Originally from
San Diego, Amy received her Bachelor of Science from the University of
San Francisco, where she majored in Political Science and minored in
Business, and worked in the legal field as office manager, paralegal,
and legal assistant. Her responsibilities at Softagon include human
resources, accounting, recruiting, sales support and administration.
Amy enjoys reading, traveling, attending jazz concerts and Broadway
shows, make-up artistry and wedding planning.

Bio of Amy Chanthaphavong and a Chance Meeting

Amy Chanthaphavong was born and raised in San Diego, California. While growing up, her parents instilled in
her the capacity to cherish and embrace the Lao culture, which included sending
her to a nearby Buddhist temple in San Diego on Sundays for schooling so that she learn
the Lao language—the language of her ancestors.

As fate would have it, Amy was spotted by the founder and President of the Miss Asian American Rose Chung while dancing at the very first International Lao New Year Festival in San Francisco while dancing on stage. Through Mr. Sirch Chanthyasack, the Chair of the ILNYF, the two would go on to meet one another. The Lao Seri Association would become Amy's first sponsor.

Despite being 27 years of age whereas many of the other 22 beautiful and talented contestants were for the most part between the ages of 19 and 22, Amy would prove to be the victor. She certainly was the best of the bunch, don't you think?

2009 Miss Asian America Pageant Photo Gallery

“As a girl I struggled with my identity, growing up as a Laotian
American. Its great to have an organization and
event like this to help unite and strengthen our presence in the
community.”

-Amy Chanthaphavong on the Center for Lao Studies

Paving the Way and Making Us Proud

The New York Times and Time Magazine reported two very important things to the world pertaining to Laos just recently: That Luang Prabang, a UNESCO World Heritage Site in Laos was the #1 Travel Destination in the World and proclaimed that Beer Lao is Asia's best tasting beer and for the first time ever, Laos hosted the South East Asian Games (2009). Now, in 2009, Amy Chathaphavong became the most beautiful Asian American, bar none. I really do hope that this is the start of something big and that this trend continues. I could certainly get used to it.

Safe to say, I'm proud to have been born in Laos and learning about the successes of Lao and Laotians is certainly a joy. If anything else, Amy has given hope to many of us, including many young women who hope to someday be crowned Miss Asian America one day, because not only is she smart, educated, talented and a dutiful daughter, she's also selfless in her volunteer work and charity. She's certainly a great role model to us all. Congratulations, Amy. You deserve it.

Her Coronation

Life After Miss Asian America

Amy is currently a fashion
design student at the Parsons in Manhattan, NYC. In addition to school,
Amy is also the Operations Manager at Softagon Corporation. In 2004 she
earned her Bachelors in Political Science from the University of San
Francisco. Her community service includes interning at Congresswoman
Nancy Pelosi’s office, volunteering at Bowery Mission Outreach, event
coordinator at the 2009 First International Lao New Year Festival
(ILNYF) in San Francisco and a host on LaoStar TV.

Climate change may lead to water and food shtagroes in countries such as Singapore. Lao, on the other hand, with its size and rich natural resources, they are likely to withstand any negative impact, if any. Singapore migration policy seems ignoring this x-factor (i.e. our climate has changed, the earth is sick and the sea level is rising... ), and we shall witness its adverse impact in he near future. Bearing in mind that we did see war refugees in the past, and we may see 'climate refugees' in the near future, should corrective measures not taken to save our earth.

Brandin,I am very excited right along with you! I wish that I could be there with you when you are there! You will have a blast! The time will go very fast, so just try to enjoy every signle moment and try to learn AS MUCH AS YOU CAN! Like I said, try to speak Lao and not English as much as you can you will learn it much faster. Well, the mosquitos love me over there, so you might just want to be prepared to be bitten. It is hot, so of course there are plenty of mosquitos, and it is the rainy season so it is even worse. Nonetheless, enjoy! Do not forget to show them your cooking skills too! They will be impressed!Much love and we will pray for your safe travels! Most of all, have fun and enjoy it soak it all in. Life will hit you hard when you come back! ; )

@Peter Dickinson-Yes, I agree with you. I find that many of the most scenic girls are money hungry in that manner. In my eyes, the only perfect girl is the one whose feelings are reciprocal to my own. To a certain extent, I can understand that a women wants to be taken cared of financially, but I could understand better those who would sacrifice the world to be with me as I would do the same. What a fascinating story, Peter. Maybe one day you'll reunite with her? Thanks for coming back and sharing that with me.

Dohn - Would I give up beer to be with her? No...and not because I can't give up the beer (I have not had a beer in a week) but because beauty isn't all its cracked up to be. I like beauty, I like to see and admire and enjoy it but I prefer being 'with' real women. I have hot dated the most beautiful girl in Vietnam (at least I thought so) and she was very disappointing. Possessive from day two, argumentative on day three. There wasn't a day four. I, much later dated her friend, not on looks but on niceness. She was lovely and years later I am still in touch. And just in case you are wondering...no, I didn't make love to her.

@Peter Dickinson-Thank you Peter! I've seen a lot of beautiful Lao girls, but Amy is certainly exceptional. I met one girl who was nearly as beautiful while in Ohio. It turned out she just happens to be my cousin :P Here's the $64,000 question: Would you give up beer to be with her?

@dusanotes-Interesting advice, Don...I did "follow" her on Twitter (yep, I found her) but I doubt she'll follow me back. From the looks of it, she hasn't been active there since September, which is a month after she struck gold when winning her crown. Time will tell I guess! Thanks again, Don!

@juneaukid-Yes I do have much reason to be proud. It seems that every time I do a search on something, I find new and pleasant info about Laos. It really is incredible. Thanks again!

@alekhouse-Thank you, alekhouse. I wonder if her crown makes her in any way eligible to compete in Miss America!
